The Biggest Indie Music Party – St. Jerome Laneway Festival

There’s no other music festival that can rock out the crowd more than the St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival. On the 21 January, the Laneway Festival returned for its seventh edition at Gardens by the Bay, with a stellar selection to indie music.

The line-up carried many firsts for the long-running indie festival, including inviting versatile rapper Mick Jenkins to the party to add some hip-hop element into the mix, and Singapore singer-songwriter Sam Rui adding a streak of R&B to indie.

Even as it started pouring, the morale of the crowd was not getting lower. Partygoers were seen in funky raincoats, having a warm bowl of ramen, and some were even playing badminton. Yes, in the rain.
